We want to get it out of the DAW and into the kemper.ħ) In order to maintain our gain staging, we keep the volume fader at zero. These are the settings that are shown in the picture I shared before.Ħ) So now, inside the daw, you can just play the DI track. That means that instead of balancing it so that only the amp side is playing (by using the gain plugin), you balance it so that only the DI side is playing. This effectively means that AFTER THAT GAIN PLUGIN with those settings, the track essentially behaves like it was a single mono recording.ĥ) for reamping you will need to send only the left DI signal back to the kemper. Since there is no signal in the left side, the net result is you get 100% right side, but now in the middle. Monoing inside the plugin then adds the left side signal and the right side signal and puts it in the middle. This means that inside the gain plugin, I use it to balance left to right such that there is 0% left side signal and 100% right side signal. (technically, the pot does exactly the same whether it is a stereo track or mono track, it is simply a pot that progressively turns down the volume of the side you're turning it away from). how loud is the right side of the signal as opposed to the left side. On a stereo track, a pan pot works as a BALANCE CONTROL - i.e. On a mono track, a pan pot works as a pan pot - panorama, moving the track across the stereo field from left to right etc etc. Actually, some useful information about (most) pan pots: This means that I, during playback, can pan it from there to wherever I want - left, right, center, whatever. So I engage the 'mono' button, which then makes the signal after that internal pan pot MONO. Or any blend, but that's rarely interesting! So turning the pan knob INSIDE THE PLUGIN all the way to the right, I now have only the right side playing - that is: only the amped signal (unlike the picture, where it was setup for reamping, and thus turned to the other side - the principle is exactly the same).Ĥ) that gain plugin pan/balance setting means that I have the 'amp' signal playing in the right side only. Inside this, there is the pan knob, which allows me to hear only the right side of the recorded track (the amped side) or the left side (the DI part of the track). (here I am talking in general, before any reamping)ģ) I achieve this by putting a gain plugin first in the chain.

But of course you want to be able to pan it in the mix. I use SPDIF, but the general process should be the same.ġ) Let's assume that you record like me, which is to a stereo track, where the DI signal is on the left, and the 'amp' signal is on the right.Ģ) In order to hear the amped signal only while playing back, you need to hear only the right side of that stereo track. I assume that you know how you get kemper to pick up the signal, and your question is only on the computer/DAW/interface side of things. The pictures that go along with the explanation: It's not perfect at the moment, so this is a starting point for refinement. What I hope you guys will do is to read it and tell me what is unclear (referring to specific points, please!).

I want everyone to be able to read it, and plan to put it in my signature for easy answering of questions, so I'll include it here. I know this has been a source of frustration for many users, so I ended up writing a novel, where I tried to explain in detail and in a what I hoped was a fairly understandable language. I had some PM conversation with recently where he asked for help setting up reamping in mixcontrol.
